Will Sonic Frontiers survive in Sega the Hedgehog’s first open world?

OK SawThere is something wrong. Before you escape the nearest fire escape, you have one last chance: delay the game once more. You can do it and we think it’s really worth it.

After that I tried Sonic FrontiersWe want to play the intimacy card because that’s how real friends act and I really am, even if you don’t know it. I’ve always preferred Sonic to Mario, if not for gaming, because of his attitude that pushed me into the arms of Megadrive, Game Gear, and Dreamcast as a kid. Your games continue to be a constant ecstasy for me, like the blue sky and your wonderful music. I even have the courage to travel around Rome wearing a fantastic vintage T-shirt with Sega written on it, and for an Italian this is a clear sign of dedication as well as courage given the risky double meaning…

I am writing to you my dear friend

If he showed up in this situation, Sonic Frontiers would cause more trouble than anything else, plus it would probably blow the air by wasting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.peak of popularity The character won by the last two movies we want to remember right now are feature films dedicated to a top-grossing video game in history.

With Jim Carrey as Robotnik, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 broke previous records, even cornering Detective Pikachu. In the face of these numbers, it would still be insane to hit stores with Sonic Frontiers. during constructionStuck at a very low resolution, abused by a limping framerate, threatened by parts of the world that appear and disappear with an annoying pop-up effect.

At this point, we don’t even want to judge ourselves. gameplay, yes, potentially interesting even if you seem like you chose the least stimulating and stereotypical formula as an open world. But there are some good ideas: some of the puzzles around are okay, drawing kinetic lines around enemies to confuse and weaken them before the final attack isn’t bad, and fighting that big boss wasn’t bad either. He is running at full speed, dodging the red portals and going through the blue portals to reach his summit as quickly as possible, where his weak points are hidden.

There are other interesting elements as well, but we can’t tell you about them because the marketing strategy adopted for Sonic Frontiers has decided to keep some gameplay details private for a few more days.

unnecessary details

Another problem: the staff who accompanied us throughout the demo were not well-trained and didn’t tell or point out the most important things to us, leaving us at the mercy of uncertainty even if it didn’t contradict the on-screen help. this Game World That said, it would make sense and wouldn’t be so bare if the graphics engine were able to keep slides and platforms on the screen that popped up and disappeared a few feet from the nose of the camera. Sonic himself isn’t entirely convincing, especially in battle where in the demo he mostly consists of useless details like a series of pretty clumsy flying kicks and kicks and the fabric of his gloves… cotton? Why are Sonic’s gloves made of cotton?

historical boundaries

Currently Sonic Frontiers also suffers from faulty commands, dancing cameras, but these features have now become the norm in Sonic’s three-dimensional parts, so much so that we can easily put off, accept them as they are. historical bordersIf there was something worth living around. Running extremely fast on the lush green hills of this open world wouldn’t be bad at all, and if we want to do it without all the problems we’ve mentioned so far, maybe if we’re listening to an iconic song. classical music. The demo brought to Summer Game Fest didn’t even include music, just added a few sound effects. And to think that this game should have been released last year…
